This video was so well made, I finally feel like I can make a basic game now. Some suggestions for other tutorials that I feel would be very helpful would be player movement, player weapons that can attack enemies, and how you were able to attach components to make those evolving creatures in your natural selection game.

[@Blackthornprod]

Thanks for the suggestions!

Dude, seriously, I'm blown away. I'm not exactly a beginner anymore but I decided to follow along with this to get in some more practice and I'm so glad I did. This was such a smooth, simple, and quick way to show everyone how a few lines code can go a long way to make an amazing game. Thank you so much :)

[@0Smile0]

Great tutorial! Can you also do a short part II with finishing touches, please? The tutorial game looks slightly different than the final game you show at the beginning and the end (smaller enemies, particles, screen shake, after effects / mood settings). Also it would be interesting to see more scene management in this part II - maybe you can add a menu, a game over screen, and a settings screen?

[@RecycledScraps]

Its crazy how much this guy posts, especially because he’s a game dev, which when compared to pretty much everyone else, they post every few months, sometimes even every few years. Way to go, man! Keep it up!

[@OR_youtube]

As a person starting their game dev journey, this tutorial helped me understand the basics of unity. Thank you!!

[@_Garm_]

Thank you, i really liked this tutorial! a perfect intro to unity :D

[@wolftagproductions6856]

This was so well made and helpful for a beginner just starting C#, and its a fun game. I myself have been using Unity's Bolt Visual scripting for a while and I wanted to learn C#. Overall great beginner tutorial.

[@MiniGunTurtle36]

14:10 shouldn’t it be spawnPoints.Length - 1, as arrays are zero indexed? Or does this not generate any issues in C#?

[@Blackthornprod]

Hey. Random.Range excludes the last integer, so we don’t need to put the -1

[@MiniGunTurtle36]

Ah alright that makes sense. Every language has its quirks

[@ericquagliozzi]

Thank you for this greate resource! In the past I already bought and followed your Udemy online course which was great and motivating! I stopped Unity for a while and discovered that now you have 3 kinds of 2D projects : 2D, 2D(URP) and 2D mobile ready. I guess 2D is the one I was used to use, URP one is using a different rendering pipeline. Which one are you using ? which one do you recommand ? Thank you! (Je suis français en fait, mais j'écris en anglais car la question pourrait intéresser tout le monde)

[@Dani_Krossing]

The main rule of thumb is that you should go with '2D URP', unless you have some older asset store tools that won't work with the new shader, or if you have some custom shaders you would rather use instead of Unitys own shader. 🙂

[@ericquagliozzi]

@@Dani_Krossing I have some personal shaders... I guess I can't use them now

[@PersonalVideoStorage]

Could you please provide a link to the whole Unity project about the game, in order to compare it with our own? This could help a lot the debugging, in case we have to do it. Thanks! =)

[@mastacnx4511]

Hi, this video is awesome but I have a small issue when following, before I add the score/health aspect,everything works fine. Enemies get stuck to sides and destroy on holes. When I add in the TakeDamage & AddScore parts, the game runs but enemies just skip the speed=0 part and go back to moving player centre. I get a small error of: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an Object However I've followed video exactly a few times and can't see where I've got it wrong, Any ideas greaty appreciated ❤

[@Stelaras03]

Love your vids

[@klymen]

As someone with a programming background, I found this to be the most useful tutorial. Everything else I've come across is just a clone of "here is how you drag and drop a crappy platformer." It's refreshing to see a short and detailed tutorial that covers building scripts, forming relationships between objects, creating prefabs and coding behaviors within the context of a full functioning game. Well done.

[@cheapgamedev3294]

Great tutorial only problem i had was that if i wanted the enemies to be something else than a ball the way they are facing would be off so could you help fix that?

[@feeney8715]

put a script to the enemy prefab. in the script, inside the update should say "transform.LookAt(playerObject);" ofcourse put a public GameObject playerObject;

[@J4ie]

You should make a video on how to make a game like little humans, i have been playing it alot over the last 2 days and would love to see how you made it

[@fueledbyfumes8016]

So many great game devs on KZbin using Unity. For some reason, I have nothing but issues using unity. Constant crashes, and bugs, or Unity not running scripts properly so I felt I was forced to use Godot instead.

Great Video, I went on to make a intro scene but kind of maybe accidently deleted the Spawner Script

[@Dack-i]

Hey Can i get some help Pls when i open my app to code (visual studio) it is blank but there should be something i dont know if it meens something

[@NamNgo-fg7kl]

For who got stuck on the 7:20 Here is the way to fix it: "[SerializeField] Transform Player;" instead of "Player player" and detele the line in the void start. After that, you go back in Unity and get the Player and put it in to the transform you just create in the script

[@NamNgo-fg7kl]

so you have to put the Player into the prefabs by put the Player prefab into prefabs folder and put it in the transform of the enimy prefab

[@NamNgo-fg7kl]

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class enimie : MonoBehaviour { [SerializeField] float speed; public Transform Player; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, Player.position, speed * Time.deltaTime); } private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision) { if (collision.tag == "eat") { Destroy(gameObject); } if (collision.tag == "Player" || collision.tag == "eni") { speed = 0; transform.parent = collision.transform; } } } so here the script i made

[@NamNgo-fg7kl]

so this is the full script: using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using Unity.VisualScripting; using UnityEngine; public class enimie : MonoBehaviour { [SerializeField] float speed; public Transform player; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.position, speed * Time.deltaTime); } void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision) { if (collision.tag == "eat") { FindObjectOfType().addscore(); Destroy(gameObject); } if (collision.tag == "Player" || collision.tag == "eni") { FindObjectOfType().takedamage(); speed = 0; transform.parent = collision.transform; } } }

[@ronno7660]

Great tutorial watched through the whole thing, I just couldn't continue because my script opener wasn't working. When I double-clicked on the script in Player it brought me to a script viewer which I couldn't edit.

Hello, I'm having trouble adding the script to the player I keep getting the "can't add script component mono behavior because the script class cannot be found. make sure that there are no compile errors and that the file name and class name match".

[@wardy7742]

delete the 'Player' script you made and make a new one with the same name. worked for me

[@feeney8715]

you put the script in a folder while vs code was on and thats were the problem came. Unity couldnt find the old script object that was laying around (you just put it in a folder and didnt restart vs code) thats why the error happens

[@sonferrertattoo]

BUG in the enemies, and I try to solve it, but without success. 😢😢 You can see this BUG easily if you put spawner time in 1 seg, for example Sometimes the enemies hit each other before they reach the player. Then they hit each other and have not reached to touch the player. I have tried to fix it with bool variable or even making a layer for the enemies and in the project setting/physics disable that collision, but this way they never collide. Is there any solution. Thank you very much for your videos, they are really great. Best regards

[@APieceOfPaper_]

I'm trying to code the enemy but I get an error that says i'm missing the type or namespace name "Player". I have been trying to fix this for an hour. Anybody know what to do?

[@barbaracozens3999]

Ok, I experienced the same problem. What I did to fix it was I needed to change the code a bit. So first you are going to delete the 'Player player;' script with 'Transform target;' then under start the only code you need is this 'target = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform;' then lastly in the update function replace the 'player.transform.position' with 'target.position'. The only thing left to do is in the Unity interface so save your code and head back into Unity. Click on your player in the hierarchy and then look over to the inspector near the top you will see 'tag "Untagged" ' click the drop down menu of Untagged and click add tag then you will see a plus symbol and a minus symbol click the plus symbol and type out 'Player' exactly. Click save set your enemy speed to 3 and Play. Hope this helps🙂.

When the enemies hit the player it takes away 1 health like its supposed to, but when an enemy sticks to another enemy already on the player it removes 2 health, i think this is because it thinks it is hitting both the player and the enemy, so it is subtracting it twice. Any ideas on how to fix this?
